I have never heard of this procedure but I wonder if you can have that done after a failed traditional basal thumb surgery. I had a left one 10yrs ago which is fine although I was warned I would never get full strength but that's ok as I have no pain.The right one was done 2 yrs later and I still have lots of pain so I wonder if they could redo it and put in the Stablyx ? anyone know ? On the same hand I now have a hard unmovable lump come up on the back of the same wrist,it's very painful when I move my wrist in any direction.I think after doing some research it may be a carpel boss.So my second question would be could I have surgery on this at the same time as the implant if they can do either ? Not sure if all that makes sense.
